The Universe Needs You Right Now (How to Stay Balanced Amid A Global Crisis)

There’s some crazy sh*t happening in the world right now, ammiright?

In the midst of this global crisis, here’s what I want you to know:

You are worthy.

The laws of manifestation still work.

Now, more than ever, the world needs your voice.

Let me break that down a little further…

During a crisis like this it can be very tempting to go into fear mode.

Worrying about everything that’s coming, watching the news incessantly and basically go crazy…

That’s not what I want for you, nor for the people around you. ​​​​​

Here’s the decision I’ve been making:

Make a decision to thrive — in stead of survive.

I’m not saying it will always be easy.

It can be freaking damn challenging when all your events have been cancelled.

But during every crisis, there’s a group of people who are thriving.

I’ve made the personal commitment to thrive during this period, but emotionally and financially. ​​​​​​​

And it’s been working… I’ve made more money in my business this quarter than ever before. ​​​​​​​

I’m not saying that to brag, but to show you what is possible… ​​​​​​​

The truth of the matter is: you can’t change what’s happening with this virus. ​​​​

What you can do, is change your outlook on it. ​​​​​​​

Take the gifts. Make the best out of this situation on all levels you possibly can. ​​​​​​​

Use it as an opportunity to grow, pivot, and upgrade the way you’re showing up in the world.

Here's what I've been doing to stay high vibe: ​​​​​​​

1) Switch off the news.

There’s a great difference between being informed and being in a constant state of panic. ​​​​​​​

Realize that the news was never designed to just inform you…​​​​​​​

Quote: “The purpose of the news is not to inform, it is to startle.” ​​​​​​​

Fear paralyzes us… It influences our nervous systems and makes us stressed and unproductive. ​​​​​​​

In order to stay in a sane, you must switch off the news (and stop reading everything everyone is saying on social media!!!) ​​​​​​​

You can use apps to help you block specific sites and stay focused. ​​​​​​​

In stead of watching the news — stay informed by following your governments website (most factual and up to date information), and asking friends about the main updates. ​​​​​​​

2) Deepen your spiritual connection.​​​​​​​

It’s easy to be aligned in times when all goes well. ​​​​​​​

Now is when we get to walk our talk. ​​​​​​​

Are you doing your daily meditation, reading and journaling ritual? ​​​​​​​

A question that can turn perceived chaos and stress into blessings is: ​​​​​​​

“How good am I willing to let my life get, regardless of outer circumstances?” ​​​​​​​

As well as the saying: “Everything happens for you, not to you.” ​​​​​​​

There’s nothing spiritual about getting locked up in fear. ​​​​​​​

Our suffering doesn’t support anyone... Especially the people who need you most… ​​​​​​​

Take the steps you have to take to take care of things, but promise yourself you’ll make the best of this. ​​​​​​​

You are bigger than this crisis.

Ask for guidance to stay grounded and connected. ​​​​​​​

I highly recommend the book A Course in Miracles Made Easy for this. ​​​​​​​

3) Don’t future trip. Stay present.

​​​​​​​

You may feel the tendency to worry about what might come, ​​​​​​​how long this will take and how you will continue running your business. ​​​​​​​

Don’t do it. Stay grounded as much as possible. ​​​​​​​

You can’t predict what’s going to happen in the future. ​​​​​​​

In stead, focus on what you can control. ​​​​​​​

Choose to respond, in stead of react. ​​​​​​​

Keep all your attention in the present, doing the best you can here and now. ​​​​​​​

4) Keep adding value to people​​​​​​​

During challenging times, people are looking for leaders!

There are so many people suffering in this period... ​​​​​​​

Some financially, but a lot of them emotionally.​​​​​​​

Now is the time to become a role model and SHOW UP for those who need you. ​​​​​​​

Think about how you can add value to your (future) customers right now. ​​​​​​​

Can you take your bodywork sessions online and turn them into energy work + dance classes? ​​​​​​​

Can you create a free offering to help people and at the same time, build your email list?

Can you teach meditation, and help people stay grounded and happy?

The world ​​​​​​​needs people who stay grounded and choose happiness right now more than anything.

So get your buns out there, move yourself to share online and begin making a difference. ​​​​​​

5) Build your online business! ​​​​​​​

There are so many opportunities opening up right now — especially online. ​​​​​​​

Choose to make this period one of your greatest growths spiritually and financially. ​​​​​​​

(Yep, I’m not kidding. This period has been great for me money-wise, and it can be for you, too). ​​​​​​​

That doesn’t mean you need to become unethical. ​​​​​​​

It’s a chance to expand your offerings and be of even greater service.​​​​​​​

Use this time become more grounded within yourself and be of even greater service. ​​​​​​​

Educate yourself on building your online business.

Start building your email list. Begin hosting live webinar trainings.

​​​​​​​Craft a powerful coaching offer, create the online course you’ve been thinking of for years. ​​​​​​​

Make this virus the best thing that ever happened to you and your (future) company. ​​​​​​​

6) Move your body and stay fit ​​​​​​​

If you’re aren’t forced to stay inside (I feel so sorry for people in France & Italy!) — get your ass outside!!! ​​​​​​​

Now is the time to get fit. Stress is best released through movement. ​​​​​​​

Get into the park or the forest and move your body for a minimum of 30 sweaty minutes a day. ​​​​​​​

I’m using apps like DownDog & Barre Class— two sweet workout platforms that happen to be 100% free right now. ​​​​​​​

Since you can’t eat in restaurants, this can also be an opportunity to upgrade your eating habits. ​​​​​​​

I’ve made it my challenge to get better at cooking delicious vegan meals and eat healthy. ​​​​​​​

(If you have any favorite vegan recipes, please send them my way!) ​​​​​​​

7) Stay connected to people you love ​​​​​​​

I’m sooooo grateful for some of my close connections in this moment. ​​​​​​​

If I wouldn’t have friends to share my experience with and motivate each other to keep our vibes high, I’m not sure what would happen. ​​​​​​​

I recommend these resources to remain connection with your friends:

Netflix Watch Parties — this google chrome extension allows you to watch series in real time with your friends and chat about it with them:​​​​.

​Cards Against Humanity Online Version — this game is soooo funny! Very inappropriate — do NOT play if you’re sensitive to sexual jokes and curse words… Play it with your friends while keeping Skype on and have a blast.

Call your grandparents if you still have them! This is a time to check in on each other and see how you’re all doing. ​​​​​​​

Gorgeous woman, I really care about you. ​​​​​​​

I know this period may not be easy for you, but I want you to know: ​​​​​​​

You’ve got this. ​​​​​​​

You are bigger than this crisis.

You are loved and your are supported. ​​​​​​​

And this too shall pass. ​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​That’s all for now.

I truly hope these insights serve you.

Big hugs,
